Testimonials

I have known Phil for more than 15yrs. I have had the pleasure of working with Phil’s talented staff for general council. His team is very personable and extremely knowledgeable. Questions are always answered promptly and they ensure you have a solid understanding of your options. I highly recommend Fornaro Law for any of your real estate and or estate planning needs.

I was going through a short sale in which I had multiple lien holders who wouldn’t agree to the terms set by both parties. It was a nightmare situation and I found myself stuck without any options other than foreclosure. I decided to reach out to Phil to see if he could anything to get me through the process. I knew I made the right decision immediately after my initial conversation. I was looking for an attorney that didn’t make false promises, managed my expectations honestly, and was someone I could trust. Phil was all those things and more. He delivered on what he promised during our first conversation and was prompt and professional in dealing with all parties involved in the short sale. Fornaro Law was the reason I was able to push my short sale through a nightmare situation and come out almost unscathed. Quite simply, I would recommend Phil to ANYONE I know.”

The Fornaro Law corporate law team represented Dubak Electrical Group in the Corporate Asset Purchase and Aquistion Transaction of Dart Electrical Construction and Maintenance LLC. The transaction period lasted seven (7) months. We found the Fornaro Law team to be extremely detail orientated, client focused, fair, seasoned and professional. The acquisition of Dart Assets formed Dubak Electrical's Indianapolis Regional Operation. We see the Fornaro Law team as a long term legal partner to our organization, and we look forward to their services as we continue to grow."

We have searched a long time to find an Attorney as trustworthy and dependable as Amy R. Lara from Fornaro Law. We are very pleased to have her as part of our team."

I am truly thankful to have worked with Amy Lara at Fornaro Law. She was able to turn my negative situation into a positive situation. She guided me step by step through the rigorous process of a Consent to Foreclosure. She was very prompt and professional at all times. I can honestly say without Amy I would be in the dark and at the will of mercy to the lender and the legal process. I would recommend working with Amy Lara to anyone who is in an undesirable situation like I was. Thanks again Amy for being there for me when I needed you most.

I met Phil Fornaro through a trusted contact of mine when I had instituted a search for new legal counsel and had asked for a recommendation. I’ve used Fornaro Law for both business and personal matters and the results are always the same; professional, attentive, productive and results oriented.

I have been impressed with Phil’s eagerness to expand his knowledge and his commitment to understanding the needs of his client and their circumstances. When we met Phil told me that his goal is to be a quality legal resource with small town values but offering big city services without the big city price. As far as I’m concerned he’s exceeded all of my expectations and far surpassed his goal.

We closed a very complicated deal with Heather Cavanaugh's involvement and I am here to say, I just don't know if that would have occurred without her diligence and extreme effort! She was always on top of every detail, and handles each complexity with professionalism and maturity that you rarely see. In fact, she is the most competent, resourceful, helpful assistant I have ever seen. She stuck with it through thick and thin, responding with lightning speed! A clear thinker and a true problem solver! I know the client would echo all of these details! This deal was ROUGH! I wanted to throw in the towel about a dozen times!!!!
